What It Is
This is a trade pack of 100 Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges with integrated soft close mechanisms. Each hinge opens to 95 degrees and comes with matching mounting plates and all necessary screws. It's designed for overlay doors, where the door covers the front edge of the cabinet frame.
Where It Fits
These hinges work on any overlay door in your kitchen, from base units to wall cabinets. The 95-degree opening angle suits most standard applications, giving you full access to the interior without the door swinging too wide in tighter spaces.
How It Works
The BLUMOTION mechanism is built into each hinge, so your doors close softly and silently without any additional dampers. The CLIP system means the hinge arm simply clicks onto the mounting plate, making installation and future adjustments straightforward. You get comprehensive adjustment in all directions: 2mm side-to-side, 3mm up and down, and between 1mm inward to 3mm outward.
Why It Matters
Soft close prevents the daily slam of cabinet doors, reducing wear on both the doors and frames while keeping your kitchen quieter. The generous adjustment range means your installer can fine-tune each door perfectly, even if the cabinet isn't perfectly square. This matters more than you might think, as even small misalignments become obvious when repeated across multiple doors.
Build Quality
Blum manufactures these hinges from steel with a nickel finish that resists wear and corrosion. The BLUMOTION damping system is integrated rather than added on, making it more reliable and longer-lasting. Blum backs these hinges with a lifetime guarantee, reflecting their confidence in the mechanism's durability.
Design Consideration
The 95-degree opening works well in most kitchens, but consider your specific layout. If you have deep base units or need to access the full interior regularly, you might prefer 110-degree hinges. The overlay configuration assumes your doors will sit proud of the cabinet frame, which suits most modern kitchen designs but won't work if you're planning inset doors.
Options
This pack includes 0mm mounting plates as standard, suitable for most installations. Different mounting plates are available if your door and cabinet configuration requires specific spacing. The pack size of 100 hinges typically suits a medium to large kitchen project.
